DESCRIPTION:Guest lecture by Yutaka Yoshida (Kyoto) as part of the ERC fun
 ded research project BuddhistRoad\n\nSogdians\, an Iranian speaker\, are f
 amous as the merchants between West and East. In their homeland\, Zoroastr
 ism seems to have been dominant among them\, but passing the trade routs\,
  so-called Silk Road\, they had contacts with different religions. When th
 ey came closer to China\, some Sogdians became Buddhists. They also produc
 ed Buddhist texts in their own language and a small part of them came down
  to us by chance. In his lecture\, Yutaka Yoshida\, a leading scholar of M
 iddle Iranian Studies\, first gives an overview about Sogdian Buddhist tex
 ts which were excavated from Turfan and Dunhuang. And then he focuses on T
 antric texts and discusses them in detail.\n\nPicture: Depositum der Berli
